Out with the old and in (and up) with the new

The time has come to say goodbye to a faithful companion – my kitchen tv. It finally gave up the ghost at the weekend. I was gutted for all of 5 minutes but only because its demise was so untimely – I was watching a great movie! I’m looking at the positives though […]

Headphones leave me head wrecked

For reasons unknown to myself, I have a knack of damaging my ipod nano headphones. Maybe I’m clumsy or maybe I’m unlucky but for whatever reason I seem to have gone through at least 6 sets of headphones. Suppose I should just be grateful that I haven’t lost my ipod or had to […]

I hate going to the dentist but I’ve a few visits planned, unfortunately, over the next couple of months. I suppose the only plus side of going is the chance to read magazines in the waiting room – some of which you’d never be caught buying yourself! Magazines like the one I read today containing […]
